Holland Scholarship encourages student mobility
Registration for the Holland Scholarship, the new Dutch scholarship programme, has opened. This programme will enable 768 talented international students annually to study for a bachelor's or master's degree in the Netherlands. In addition, 768 Dutch students will have the opportunity to study, take up an internship or carry out research in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA) for a minimum of 3 months. The aim of the Holland Scholarship programme is to raise the profile of Dutch higher education and to encourage student mobility both into and out of the Netherlands.

Congratulations to the Embassy on the launch of Dutch Dayz - sharing current Dutch culture and technology with New Zealand. Hopefully this is the first of many years of such an event. We hope you find time to visit some of the activities and of course celebrate Tulip Season in New Zealand as well.

Funding Cuts,
Petition
The Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science has abolished funding for Dutch language schools overseas from 1 Jan 2014. This affects 13,000 children in such schools world-wide and could be the end of the Dutch School in Wellington and possibly other sites in New Zealand because they need the subsidy to continue the lessons.

The recent press release (copied below) by the chairmen of the respective trusts working towards establishing a museum in Foxton is heartening and reflects the spirit of cooperation envisioned by Theo Muller in his Blog, "Creating Community". He wonder what we could achieve if we were somehow to work together, share resources, share talent, think as one. A Museum is a good start, but we also need to keep contemporary links with the Netherlands to be a truly a Dutch community within the wider New Zealand community, not an historic Dutch community.

I have been involved in the NetherlaNZ Foundation for a couple of years and the Trustees made me Chairman about a year ago. It’s been a full-on year and I have met more Dutch immigrants or second or third generation descendants of Dutch immigrants in that year than in all those years since I came to New Zealand in the 70’s. There are Dutchies everywhere and there isn’t one living soul in New Zealand who doesn’t know somebody of Dutch origin – surely no more than two degrees of separation! But what has taken me by surprise is the number of clubs, committees, incorporated societies, formal and informal groups of Dutch immigrants and their descendants and most of these groups have similar goals and objectives; bringing the Dutch community together socially or culturally by organising events, activities and projects, some of them with a local accent and others of a regional or even national nature. It is absolutely fantastic that there are so many motivated people wanting to be involved in these projects and make themselves available, roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. I take my hat off to those involved in the very successful Molen Project in Foxton. What an asset, not only for Foxton, but for the whole of New Zealand. The Dutch Connexion, another group of enthusiastic Dutch immigrants with a dream of ambitious proportions, wants to build a Dutch museum, “Ons Museum and Cultureel Centrum”. The drivers behind that project devote all their spare time to realising their dream. I salute you.

Welcome to the new website for the New Zealand-Netherlands Foundation. This site is devoted to fostering the links that bind New Zealand and the Netherlands. The Dutch assimilate very well when they join a new culture and there are estimated to be between 130,000 to 200,000 people with a Dutch heritage in New Zealand. We want YOU!
